Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"I think doing the same thing all the time is a sign of low creativity, just like you women always like to wear this kimono."

Walking inside the building, Conan held Yuji's hand and stroked the fabric of the clothes, confirming that this kimono was almost exactly the same as the one at home.

The two brothers were at the end of the team led by Suzuki Sonoko. In front of them was Mori Ran with Kudo Shinichi. They were looking back frequently with disbelief in their hearts.

"Shinichi, are you...are you sure this girl is really the Yuuji-kun from last night?"

The junior high school boy who had always insisted on having her make fried chicken nuggets for him was now more beautiful than most of the girls she had ever seen.

"That's him, for sure. This dress belongs to my mother. Also... don't call me Shinichi outside."

Kudo Shinichi took off his mask, revealing the appearance that Kudo Yukiko insisted on giving him before he went out. He was obviously an ordinary boy with freckles all over his face and a slightly chubby baby face.

"Hey, how did you do that? Isn't this disguise exactly the same as Kidd-sama's?"

Sonoko fell back to Kudo Shinichi's side and couldn't control her hands and wanted to touch the mask on Kudo Shinichi's face, but was immediately beaten back.

【It hurts! 】

"Don't move."

After glaring at Suzuki Sonoko and wanting to talk to Mouri Ran, Kudo Shinichi saw the girl with the hairband dragging Mouri Ran to the front and rolling her eyes at him, obviously trying to retaliate against him in this way.

"This is the 60th floor."

Haibara Ai walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, touched the glass and looked down. The people surrounding the Suzuki Building didn't even look like ants. It was just a surging black ocean.

"It looks like there's an unusually heavy amount of security at the Suzuki Building today."

Dr. Agasa stood next to Haibara Ai and simply deduced from the current row of people that there were at least fifty or sixty police officers present.

"But these policemen are useless. After all, this is the top floor, which is Kidd's home court."

Conan let go of Yuji's hand: "Kid's two special skills are disguise and escape. In a high-rise building like this, he can just throw a concussion bomb or break the glass, and then he can glider and escape."

In his opinion, if they were planning to capture Kidd, they would either have to use experts as bodyguards for the treasure, at least at the level of Kyogoku Makoto, or they would have to set very strict conditions.

"Instead of the top floor of the building, the basement might be better, and the space can be limited." You Er also put it on the glass: "Put the gems in the cabinet three days before the exhibition starts, and then refuse all police protection. The fewer people, the better."

"It will be very difficult for that uncle to shoot a documentary about himself and Kidd."

Matsuda Jinpei came out from the side aisle wearing a pink apron. Seeing Kudo Yuuji's appearance, his mouth twitched and he greeted Dr. Agasa. "Hey, Dr., do you have any new inventions recently?"

"You are...excuse me, have we met before?"

"One-sided, one-sided." Matsuda Jinpei put his hands on his hips. "I didn't expect that someone would come to commission a family restaurant that was only registered for one day. It's really hard to cook for so many police officers."

"Family restaurant?" Kudo Shinichi frowned: "Are you still planning to open a store?"

Aren’t you leaving tomorrow?
"We have one day to do one day's work, and I just need to help out, the chef is still busy inside."

Jinpei Matsuda bought four bottles of green tea from the beverage vending machine. When he saw the girl in kimono, he took one bottle very naturally and was hesitant to say anything.

"Why? Are you doing that? It's just a bottle of green tea." Yuuji pointed at the red mark on Matsuda Jinpei's clothes and asked, "What's wrong with your shoulder?"

"Ok?"

The curly-haired detective tilted his head to take a look and said, "Ah, this is ketchup for our guests."

"You're not going to sell french fries here, are you?" Yuji was stunned for a moment and squinted his eyes.

"It's not French fries, it's a new dish invented by Fujiwara. The freshly made tofu is coated with a layer of starch and then baked in the oven. After the outer skin becomes crispy, it is fried in a pan." Matsuda Jinpei looked so proud that people thought he had made it.

“It tastes really good with ketchup.”

"You can try chili oil next time." Yuji patted Matsuda's shoulder.

"Really."

Looking at the group of people heading to the jewelry site, Matsuda Jinpei saw that Amuro Toru had just enough change to buy himself four bottles of green tea, but only three bottles of green tea were left.

"Just assume I've drunk it."

Just as he was about to walk back, he heard a crisp and loud sound as a coin fell from his shoulder. The value of the coin that fell to the ground was just enough to buy the most expensive can of coffee in the vending machine.

"Really..."
